Ollie the Onion had always been the most sensitive bulb in the patch, prone to shedding tears even at the slightest tug of emotion. One day, when a gust of wind whispered about the farmer's dinner plans, Ollie overheard that he might be chopped into soup. Overwhelmed, he rolled out of the garden, his layers trembling with fear. As he journeyed across the farm, he encountered a wise old potato who chuckled and said, “You’ve got the gift of flavor, Ollie. That’s worth celebrating, not fearing!” Encouraged, Ollie returned, determined to embrace his purpose. When the farmer sliced him later that evening, Ollie released his tears not out of sadness, but as a final gift—his essence blending into the soup, bringing warmth and joy to all who tasted it.
